This is only my opinion, and they're all great players, but in any conditions (including some terrible pitches), against any opposition (pace or spin), I'd take Harvey to bat to save/win a game over both Ponting and Border.
I agree absolutely on the opposition Border had to face being tougher than most.
And I agree that Ponting is probably the most dangerous Australian batsman in a long time. Only criticism of Ponting is that he is gold against pace, perhaps a bit suss against good spin bowlers.
Anyway, splitting hairs to compare, so it mostly comes down to personal opinions on what is most important I guess.
